Apple 12 Days of Gifts App launches for the first time with US and international freebies

Apple always gets in the holiday spirit by releasing free digital content through its 12 Days of Gifts app for iOS. The app is usually reserved for users in Europe and a few other countries sprinkled throughout the world, and the United States was never among the places sprinkled with a gift. That changed today with the release of the Gifts App.

The 12 Days of Gift app is now available in App Store for select countries, including for the first time iOS users in the US. Apple uses the app for a promotion that offers users a free download from its iTunes, iBooks, and App Store. Each gift is available for only 24 hours and may not be available in some locations. The app is available to download now and the promotion will run from December 26 to January 6.
